My Honest Results from Trying Amazon FBA for 3 Weeks




I Tried Amazon FBA For 3 Weeks (Honest Results)

Amazon FBA, or Fulfillment by Amazon, is a popular way for individuals to start their own e-commerce business without having to worry about the logistics of storing, packing, and shipping products. It allows sellers to list their products on Amazon’s marketplace, and have Amazon handle the rest of the process, from storing inventory in their warehouses to shipping orders to customers.

As someone who had been interested in starting my own online business for a while, I decided to give Amazon FBA a try for 3 weeks to see if it lived up to the hype. Here are my honest results after trying out the platform:

Week 1:
I spent the first week researching different products to sell on Amazon. I looked at things like demand, competition, and profit margins before finally settling on a niche that I thought had potential. I then spent time sourcing products from Alibaba and negotiating with suppliers to get the best prices.

Week 2:
With my products on their way to Amazon’s fulfillment center, I spent the second week setting up my seller account, creating product listings, and optimizing them for keywords. I also worked on marketing strategies to help drive traffic to my listings once they went live. I was excited to finally see my products listed on Amazon and eagerly awaited my first sale.

Week 3:
As the third week went by, I started to see some sales trickling in. However, I quickly realized that competition on Amazon was fierce, and it took a lot of effort to get my products to rank high in search results. I also struggled with keeping up with customer service inquiries and dealing with returns and refunds.

In the end, while I did make some sales and turn a profit during my 3-week experiment with Amazon FBA, I also learned that it was not as easy as it seemed. It required a lot of time and effort to research products, source them, list them, and market them effectively. Additionally, the fees associated with Amazon FBA, including storage and fulfillment fees, ate into my profits more than I had anticipated.

Overall, my experience with Amazon FBA was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the convenience of having Amazon handle the fulfillment side of things, I also realized that running a successful e-commerce business on the platform required a lot of hard work, dedication, and strategic thinking. It was a valuable learning experience, but one that I ultimately decided was not the right fit for me at this time.

    What are the amazon fees that were $222.14? What are they charging you? Is that like their cut by allowing you to sell on their platform?

    The first 1 month isn’t accurate since amazon gave first page ranking for al relevant keywords. of course sales will be good. Do it after 1 month n u will start to see your spending on ppc advertising increase tremendously making u less profitable for the next 2 months or so

    Regardless of what the slackers say, Amazon FBA is legit; I've been making multiple seven figures with FBA since 2017, and all you have to do is apply yourself and take action.
